Nice to see one

This was taken at quite a distance so is heavily cropped, but I was happy to see at least one monarch.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

So much for the simple desert architecture, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/400s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I hear these beauties are becoming endangered. We should photograph them every chance we get. V

Comments now posted - it is so nice to see these butterflies and you got a lovely photo of it against all the greenery.

I see the comment I thought I'd left yesterday didn't get saved and posted as I thought it might! This is a wonderful shot, very crisp and colourful. V

Stunning monarch butterfly. Beautiful color and details so cropping certainly didn't hurt. V.
